I used to sleep great, but when I start getting endo pain I have a hard time staying asleep. If the tiniest thing wakes me up, that's it, I'm awake. If I take something before bed it wears off before it can help. And I don't always have an opportunity for a nap later in my day. Has anyone found a way to get restful, restorative sleep? Only getting 6 hours of sleep a night almost every night is really wearing me down.
When I get a flareup, I get about four hours asleep, so I usually take an edible and I sleep all night
I was curious if anyone else has ever noticed exercise helps symptoms? I was doing CrossFit regularly and I noticed my cramping, spot bleeding, pms symptoms subside. I noticed when I am heavily stressed they come full force. But doing intense exercise did the reverse.
I read in an article that doing core work is a no no due to pulling in the stomach and risking spreading the adhesions to the other side of the stomach ? It sounds logical doesnt it?
I am 31 suffering endometriosis for awhile. I am so sick of the pain that I go through every day. My boyfriend doesn't even understand at all how I feel which makes it even harder. I was thinking about talking to my endo specialist about moving with a partial hysterectomy. Is it a good idea to take that next step?
I think it’s completely down to you and whether you want children or not. I got told at my last surgery that if I wanted them I need to do it now. I’ve always been someone who’s dreamed of having… read more
Does endo affect a lot of other body part? Because if so i think i need to talk to my doctor. Im getting seriously sore.

Endo needs to be removed deep and wide by the excision technique. Not every OBGYN knows how. When it's done correctly the Endo has a very small chance of returning. Call one of these Surgeons and take care of yourself. If it's not possible to see one of these surgeons, still call and they can recommend a quality surgeon near you , who can give you good care.

Hi all,
Don't know if I just need to vent but some advice would be appreciated too. I had my third Laparscopy towards the end of May this year. The removed endo from the Pouch of Douglas and Pelvic Wall. After previous surgeries I have generally felt a good bit of relief in the coming months. I also have PCOS. I'm not feeling as much relief as I thought I would by now. This month has been horrific. I had two full weeks where I felt "periody" and had PMS bloating, moods, cramps etc. I finally… read more
If I'm honest I felt no relief from having a laparoscopy, I felt like my nerve endings were just on fire and it just allowed it to run rampant. UCLH referred to my pouch of diagnosis as an obliterated… read more
I recently had to go off all hormones. Ever since then, I have been on an emotional roller coaster. I cry for no reason and get very easily upset. It is so much worse before my period. Did the birth control pills mess me up? What can I do about it?
Tell your doctor what's happening. PMDD can be controlled with hormones. I need to be on BC to be sane
Thank you @A MyEndometriosisTeam Member, I will be talking to my doctor when I see her next month.
I have been on birth control for 9 years and I have been wanting to get off of it for a while now. How was your experience coming off the depo? And what are some good natural remedies that help with the pain?
My dr is the one that put me on the depo for Endo and she doesnt want to do surgery I tried going to a new dr and she made me feel terrible
Has anyone been in so much pain your legs hurt,you get super nauseous and your lower body feels weak and funny (can't explain it better)???
Sometimes I have super bad cramps -not usually enough to make me vomit, but every period I get what I call 'jello legs'. No one seems to know what I'm talking about.
